An Erling Haaland hat-trick helped City move back to the Premier League summit and maintain our 100% start to the 2023/24 campaign with a 5-1 win over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. The Norwegian's seventh treble in sky blue rounded off a remarkable week for our number nine, whose first of the afternoon saw him become the quickest player to 40 Premier League goals. Julian Alvarez had handed City the lead on the half hour, but the visitors replied almost instantly through Tim Ream. But Nathan Ake headed home on the stroke of halftime to restore our advantage, despite heavy protests from the Fulham players and coaching staff who felt Manuel Akanji had interfered from an offside position. After the break, though, Haaland took centre stage to see City into the international break in style.
